What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use smooth peanut butter for the easiest spreading. If your peanut butter is stiff, you can warm it slightly.
- 2Assemble just before serving to ensure the rice cakes stay crisp and don't absorb moisture from the toppings.
- 3For a little extra flavor, you can add a tiny sprinkle of cinnamon over the top.
- 4If you don't have strawberries, thin banana slices or a few blueberries also work wonderfully.
